Pantone just announced its color of the year for 2010, Turquoise 15-5519. Pantone describes this color as “an inviting, luminous hue… Combining the serene qualities of blue and the invigorating aspects of green, Turquoise evokes thoughts of soothing, tropical waters and a languorous, effective escape from the everyday troubles of the world, while at the same time restoring our sense of wellbeing.” I couldn’t agree more. I love the use of Turquoise in design. It can be bold, fun and a little edgy and yet is also calm and tranquil. Here is a round up of some nice designs using colors in this family. Enjoy the escape!
